Fill your mind with fantasies
But they will not be realized
By pining
Embrace your talents
Let us see them
But you will not succeed
Without exertion
Our eyes that witness the wonders you create
May provoke words of praise
But they are from feeble lips
Our eyes
Cannot replace
The critica...

I
Will not wait
Refuse to sit here
And linger
In this despicable place
For an apology
I know
There will be none
To come
My way, not anytime soon
The words
That you procured
From the depths of your heart
That lashed at me
Freshly sharpened
Daggers
Stunning pain
You whipped me, for a...

At the break of dawn
I shall cast you out
Fling open the doors
To my heart
As I did
When you were an
Invited guest
Sequester the bond we shared
Forever
What we shared
To I
The Holy Grail
It was
Furtive
Beyond my reach
For so long
I claimed it, and it became
A pot of gold
At the ...

When you see me, I am not there.
I reside in a state of consciousness beyond my humanoid appearance.
My eyes, they can see.
My mouth produces ungodly words, though those words are of no difference to the words you hear from those you live beside.
Yet I do not hear the words that you spe...

Why do you stare
Over here
At me?
Is there anything wrong
With my existence?
My differences?
Is it critical
To your life
That I must be
Catered precisely
To your needs
What is it of your concern
That needs to be watched
Carefully
From afar
With disgust
Every moment I intrude upon y...

You!
Do you know
What others will think
When you die?
Will they mourn
Or will they celebrate
Will they even know
It is a great thing
Fame
The light always upon you
Many hands
Tending to your needs
Preparing you
For the eye of the world
Yet that eye
Scrutinizes you
Will dissect yo...

I was a bird
Flying free
Over every land
Beyond every sea
A sparrow
Small and sleek
No cumbersome limbs
To burden me
Then I was a gazelle
The one who is chased
My days have been
No longer gay
A hunter
Not to fall astray
From the hunted
With their deadly ballet
Then I was a mer...

Falling gently
Softly
Ever so slowly
I see you
I feel your pain
My mother complains
Of your presence
We shovel you
Into heaping black piles
Full of dirt
Unworthy dirt
Not worthy to shine your shoes
Tossed to the side by plows
An irritation
A safety hazard
You close schools
I love yo...

A lethargic daze
Stretching over those
Precious two months
The sun
Blazes overhead
A fog enters my brain
Slowly
The past school year
Drifts out of one ear
The beach awaits
But first
The painstaking car ride
Last minute plans
To visit
My frail grandmother
Camping out
In the local sta...

To some
Love is
Family
But not I
Love is
Finally landing a fist
On your older brother
To some
Love is
Your prom date
But not I
Love is
Learning your crush
Loved you since Kindergarten
To some
Love is
Giving
But not I
Love is
Seeing your mother’s expression when
She realizes ...

Powerless
In the face of the world
Huge menacing
Unbridled cruelty
Cuddled, I was
In the arms of my parents
For years
Brought up
Pruned and clean
Taught to
Recite
And keep my mouth shut
A huge mansion
I came home to every day
A chef-made snack waiting for me
A pencil laid out for my...

The world is a stage
Shakespeare said
He was correct
To an extent—
The world is staged
Your true colors
Contained within
Inhumane bounds
The brush dips into the paint
Dances across the bare canvas
Seems so free, free to be
The artist you wished to be
Yet the edges of the canvas
Conta...
